Inspire Multi Academy Trust

Welcome to Inspire Multi Academy Trust

We are a Multi Academy Trust based in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, currently consisting of five primary academies. The majority of our academies serve communities with high levels of disadvantage and our focus is on improving outcomes for every child, regardless of their starting point.

Children are at the centre of all we do in Inspire, as practitioners we hold the opportunities for our children in our hands and that great responsibility is embedded within our vision and our practice. ‘Life-long learning for all’ underpins our way of working.

"Trustees and governors challenge school leaders effectively. Governors and leaders share a common vision and have high expectations. Leaders are also supported and challenged by the local authority and external educational consultant. This helps leaders ensure improvement in the curriculum."

Ofsted – March 2022

"It was very encouraging to hear about the improvements being made across your schools and the trust’s continued drive to build on this improvement. I was particularly pleased to hear about the strong outcomes of your disadvantaged pupils, as well as the good work
you continue to do to reduce the level of persistent absence. It was also pleasing to hear about the recent positive Ofsted inspections at three of your five schools."

DfE – April 2020

"Support from the trust is effective. As a result of regular visits, meetings with teachers from other schools in the trust, and relevant training, leaders have made clear improvements. Leaders make effective use of external reviews to continually improve the quality of teaching. The chief executive headteacher and the lead headteacher ensure that all staff work with other schools in the trust, for example to improve the teaching of mathematics and phonics. However, it is too early to assess the impact of the new approach to phonics on pupils’ reading and writing."
